lift? for what? buddy of mine at work has a 97 and he put 235/75r15's under his with no lift... says that's the biggest size you can fit without lift... unless you're flexin the stock suspension to the max, you should be fine (according to him - mine are 255/60's so I can't test that theory right now)

My MT/Rs are 235 and I can full flex them. They rub in the back but the stock ones rub there because I have no sway bar, and that is only at full flex.

Today I attempted to replace the bad u-joint on my driver side front axle. Everything is rusted. Hub nut took a 2 foot breaker bar, 2 foot cheater pipe and two people's full weight to break loose. Took an hour to remove the hub assembly. Couldn't get the joint out, got mad and put everything back together. It still binds up turning sharp left full lock, but the vibrations at 45+mph went away. Its a Jeep thing, no one understands.

Today was a good day, you know when you see the UPS truck pull up and you have been waiting for parts!? I just got and installed my Tomkin gas tank skid and it fit like a glove. Still waiting on the speedo gear to arrive.

By the way, Hi to all, just became a member tonight!

I decided today was a good day to hit my jeep with two birds at 70mph one in the grill, one on the glass. No chips or cracks, lucky cause it was some big @.. birds.

Woke up to this. I don't understand why people have to do this. Well I guess my day can only get better.

Went to the post office to get my air intake kit and the lady didn't give it to me because i bought it with my wife card and she needs to sign the slip authorizing me to get the package, the problem is that she is in puerto rico ( her grandpop just died) so i have to wait untill she comes back :/ came out from the post office , started driving home, called my wife and got pulled over ..... $75 for talking on the phone while driving..... I think i'm going to autozone, pepboys, advance and lowes ,,, my angry level is too high right now
